    you need to give notice then wait a week and you will get a letter through post offering 50% minimum off as well as a credit to your account
    if not just ring the up and say you have recieved one

    theres many threads about this



    For internet and phone ? You don't need to give notice, as you ask the new provider to sort things.


    Giving notice does, at the moment get immediate offers of 50% off tv, followed by a possible 60%, but I waited, was cut off and got 75% off plus £100 credit (too much to resist), but the best from phone/bb was free ADSL, so I moved to Plusnet (and regret it).

    Do they though? Like I said above, I gave my 31 days notice cancelling my TV package, didn't get a single offer...nothing!
    It's been off since the 12th & still nothing.



    Wait to be cut off as there is an excellent current offer for those who actually leave. I believe it ends in December.

    i didnt say cancel i said give notice

    you give them 30 days and then they bombard you with offers to keep you
    For broadband and phone ? You don't need to give notice.They do make offers with tv, though.

    If you move back as well as the free BB offer Sky will offer to take care of your termination charges up to £100 (you pay Plusnet then send proof to Sky and they will credit your bill with them). Might get you out a bit sooner.



    I know, but unfortunately have 11 months to suffer.


    I spoke to Sky CS last night (it appears that someone forgot to 'press the button' to enable my +, when I reinstated tv) and mentioned being unhappy with PlusNet . The man suggested that he could look into helping me back, but I mentioned the 11 months left and he said that was a pity. It gives hope of leaving early though, as you say.
